After receiving an e-mail regarding your un-American policy, I decided to write you. I can not believe that as much as the USA has done for you that you will not allow your associates to honor it by wearing the USA Flag or other American Patriotic Item. You said that you did not want to offend your audience ~ What do you think you are doing to your own Country, the Military, and its citizens? I will not watch anything that your station will televise and I will contact everyone I know and your advertisers as well to boycott your station.

C Sikes and Donald Dean are galvanzied knuckledraggers fooled all of the time by The Craig's List Of Facist Signs In America. Neither one of them are aware that Dubya was never AWOL and that implausible rumor is a cover for Dubya's compliance with shooting down Rep. Hale T. Boggs for the Nixon-Agnew reelection campaign to prevent Congressman Boggs's October Surprise at the libel-immune congressional podium dispelling the Warren Commission with New Orleans DA Jim Garrison's court-sealed grand jury evidence when JFK's brother-in-law was challenging Spiro T. Agnew.

Having just received an email stating that you have forbidden your anchors or anyone else on the air to wear the flag or other patriotic items in the lapel. PLEASE say this isn't so! What a dishonor to our service men & women who have fought & some died for the privilege to display the American flag. If this is your policy, then I am no longer watching ABC. I will be watching Fox News who is not ashamed to stand up for our country.

We have updated to a 1080P flat screen TV set and connected to an HD cable channel. The pictures are wonderful and high resolution. However, when ABC evening news comes on I get a fuzzy face on Diane Sawyer. Everything else is sharp. If she can't stand HD she should leave the news broadcast. We don't need out-of-focus pictures like low speed VHS when we paid for HD.

People need to stop saying that that Ali leaving the Bachelor show was scripted and fake. I happen to know that was a real life situation of a career woman having to make a hard choice, it was not scripted. If you had a professional job and was asked to return, how would you handle it. She needed to put bread on the table and pay rent like everyone else.

The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are an insult to viewer intelligence. This is not reality tv, it is pure fiction. These shows are so manipulated, so scripted, and so insulting that it makes me angry when I hear that people even watch them. There is a difference between editing and scripting. The Molly and Jason thing was bad enough, but now this one with Jake, and the thing with Ali so clearly being written into the show...PLEASE. I have had enough, and so have my friends.

My original message was:

ABC is obsessed with the subject of homosexuality. I will no longer watch any of your attempts to convince the world that homosexuality is OK ' THE PRACTICE' can be a fairly good show, but last night's program was so typical of your agenda. You picked the 'dufus' of the office to be the one who was against the idea of his mother being gay, and made him look like a whiner because he had convictions. This type of mentality calls people like me a 'gay basher.'


Read the first chapter of Romans ( that's in the Bible); and see what the apostle Paul had to say about it.... He, God and Jesus were all 'gay bashers'. What if she'd fallen in love with her cocker spaniel? Is that an alternative life style? (By the way, the Bible speaks against that, too.)

--Jim Neugent
Here is ABC's reply from the ABC on-line webmaster:

How about getting your nose out of the Bible (which is ONLY a book of stories compiled by MANY different writers hundreds of years ago) and read the declaration of independence (what our nation is built on), where it says 'All Men are Created equal,' and try treating them that way for a change!

Or better yet, try thinking for yourself and stop using an archaic book of stories as your lame crutch for your existence. You are in the minority in this country, and your boycott will not affect us at ABC or our freedom of statement.
ABC you should be ashamed of yourself. This will get passed on all around the country.

"Find My Family" jeopardizes the emotional stability and happiness of thousands of adopted children and the only family that they have ever known, by portraying biological parents as people they should contact. Legal rights are forfeited at the time of adoption. This show will bring nothing but heartache to so many children and the families that love and have cared for them since birth.
My first born was adopted and then I gave birth to two other children. The only difference between them is that the first developed in my heart and the others under it. I sincerely hope that this show is taken off the air before real emotional harm is done to our children.
